Rita, the ninth hurricane and 17th named storm of the June 1-Nov. 30 Atlantic hurricane season, was about 755 miles (1,215 kilometers) east-southeast of Corpus Christi, on the Gulf Coast. This is the first time in 10 years that Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes, named in alphabetical order, have reached the letter ``R.''

I was working in Goliad earlier this week, but the Court House is now closed and folks are moving inland. I suspect it'll get pretty windy here in San Antonio, but my real concern is with the folks closer to the coast.

Had no idea you guys have a place in Brooks Co. I did some work down there last year. Their Court House is nifty because they keep all their records in the basement, feels like you're somewhere you're not supposed to be. Oh, and the Best Western in Falfurrias was new and clean. A real treat after some of the dives I've had to stay in elsewhere in south Texas.
